Best Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Bread Tips

• Try to use conventional peanut butter for this chocolate chip peanut butter quick bread.  However, if using natural peanut butter in your chocolate chip peanut butter bread recipe make sure you stir it well before it goes into your batter. This will allow the texture of the chocolate chip peanut butter loaf to not be effected by the separation of the oils and fats in natural peanut butter.  
• When adding your dry ingredients and mashed bananas do not overmix.  Overmixing can cause chocolate chip peanut butter bread to be tough instead of tender.  I folded my dry ingredients and mashed bananas in with a spatula until they were just incorporated.
• To make sure your chocolate chips don’t sink to the bottom of this peanut butter chocolate chip quick bread toss them with 1 or 2 tablespoons of flour before adding them to the batter.  Do this especially if you are using regular sized chocolate chips.  
• If you’re just not feel’n chocolate chips for this peanut butter loaf cake, you could substitute cinnamon chips, peanut butter chips, expresso chips, or peanuts. .Any of these would be delicious.
• I know this is super hard, but try to let your peanut butter chocolate chip quick bread cool before slicing.  Taste Of Home says slicing warm quick bread will cause it to crumble and your want get clean slices.
